Qu’est-ce qu’un emballage circulaire? Est-ce mieux qu’un emballage soit fait de matériaux recyclés ou qu’il soit recyclable? Au-delà du recyclage, comment peut-on rendre un emballage plus circulaire ou plus écoresponsable? Pour répondre à plusieurs de ces questions, Groupe AGÉCO aborde le sujet de l’écoconception comme levier de transition vers une économie circulaire.
Dans ce webinaire, des experts de Groupe AGÉCO vous introduiront à la démarche d’écoconception afin d’augmenter la circularité des emballages et d’en réduire l’empreinte environnementale. Ils s’appuieront sur des études de cas inspirantes.
